What kind of bug is this?

A true fly? Big midge? It is not a Mosquito.

Fish emergers / chronies.....

A good way to differentiate between male and female is that the male has fairly long,plumose antennae, while the female usually has shorter unadorned antennae. It is thought that the male has the more ornate antennae in order to find the females for mating.
